London, June 25: A very well compiled unbeaten century from the Irish player Eoin Morgan has propelled England to register a four-wicket victory over the Aussies in the first one-day international of the Natwest Series at Rose Bowl. Australia opted to bat first and managed to score 267-7 with a nice contribution from Michael Clarke of 87 from 97 balls. Except him no other batsman in the Australian team has clicked.
On the other hand, Morgan has made a nice partnership of 95 with Luke Write, who has scored 36. Later, Morgan has shared stands of 71 with Tim Bresnan, who has scored 27 runs.
The talented left-hander has registered his third ODI hundred.
Moreover, he has sealed the victory over the Aussies with his 16th four with 24 balls to spend. It was the 3000th One-Day International since the format began in 1971. England faced big defeat with 6-1 by the Aussies in the one-day series after the Ashes in last summer.
But this time the English team is looking confident and compiled.
